“IF YE HAVE HEARD”: FROM WHOM HAD THEY HEARD? We read in Eph. 3:2, “If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward”. The note on the word translated “if” in the Companion Bible reads, “Followed by the Indicative Mood, the hypothesis is assumed as an […]

 THE WIFE AND BRIDE  OF REVELATION THE WIFE AND THE BRIDE OF REVELATION The question that I will address in this paper is whether the wife of Rev. 19 and the bride of Rev. 21 are two different groups in the same dispensation. This question is part of the broader question of whether there are […]

WAS JOEL’S PROPHECY PARTIALLY FULFILLED AT PENTECOST? This paper primarily concerns the question of whether Joel’s prophecy was partially fulfilled at Pentecost. We will discuss the following topics in our search for the truth: A Look At The Old Testament Teachings Of The Feast Of Weeks, Pentecost A Comparison of Joel’s Prophecy With The Events […]

IS THERE MORE THAN ONE GOSPEL OF SALVATION? We read in John 3:16, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life”. But Peter preached in Acts 3:19, “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be […]

WHO WAS RECONCILED TO GOD BY THE CROSS? We read in II Cor. 5:18-20, “And all things are of God, Who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation: to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their sins unto […]

PREDESTINATION PREDESTINATION I will begin by telling the reader that I do not believe that the Scriptures teach the widely held view of hell as a place where unbelievers go to suffer eternal punishment. . (Please see the paper on this web-site, A Study Of Hell for the proof of that belief.) I believe that […]

FAITH AND WORKS IN GOD’S PLAN OF SALVATION I will begin this study by saying that I do not intend to offer every verse that is suggested by many to prove that at one time, man was saved by works alone. The reason for that is because, as I hope this study will prove, faith […]

“LET NO MAN THEREFORE JUDGE YOU IN MEAT OR IN DRINK….” (COL. 2:16) Does Col. 2:16 tell us that with the beginning of the dispensation of the mystery Israel was no longer under the Law of Moses? Certainly that is what most believe it to say, but is that the correct understanding? I think it […]

IS THE PRESENT DISPENSATION CALLED “THE DISPENSATION OF THE GRACE OF GOD”? We read in Eph. 3:2, “if ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward”. Most believe that the present dispensation takes its name from this verse, i.e. that the present dispensation is called the […]

IS THE DISPENSATIONAL BOUNDARY ACTS 28:28 OR 28:25? One might ask, “Is it really that important which verse one sees as the dispensational boundary?” I believe the answer to that question is a resounding “yes”. The reason it is important is because if we don’t have the correct premise, i.e. the correct act of God […]

WHO IS THE ANGEL OF THE LORD? The “Angel of the Lord” is the messenger of Jehovah. I believe that Christ is the “Angel of the Lord“. This suggests that Christ existed before His birth to Mary in the form of man. That is exactly what Scripture tells us is the case. We read in […]

WERE THE REPHAIM PROGENY OF FALLEN ANGELS? In order to answer the question posed in the title of this paper we will search the Scriptures for the following answers: WHO ARE THE “SONS OF GOD” SPOKEN OF IN GEN. 6:4? WERE THE SONS OF ANAK GIANTS BECAUSE THEY WERE PROGENY OF FALLEN ANGELS? WERE THOSE […]

THE DISPENSATIONAL PLACE OF JOHN’S GOSPEL I offer this study reluctantly, because much of it is in direct disagreement with an article written by Charles Welch, for whom I am very grateful for his many insights, and for whom I have great respect. But we are exhorted to search the Scriptures for God’s truth and […]

 ARE THERE TWO CALLINGS IN THE  DISPENSATION OF THE  MYSTERY?   ARE THERE TWO CALLINGS IN THE DISPENSATION OF THE MYSTERY? Many in the Acts 28 community believe that there are two callings in the dispensation of the mystery.  One calling is to heavenly places and, as far as I can find, the other calling […]
